So you’re going to hire a consultant?
Is it better to hire an absolute genius who knows exactly how to fix your problem – but flakes out and shows up only half the time …. Or to hire someone reliable who only understands your problem 75%?
I’ve hired a few consultants over the years, and frankly, I’m not sure which group I like better. The third alternative—a genius who’s reliable—seem far and few between.
What are your experiences?

This reminds me of a question I was once asked:
Would you rather be book smart or have common sense?
Personally, I would prefer to have common sense over book smart. By having common sense, I would know where to go to find the answer.
I’d hire someone reliable who understands 75% of my problem - and hope they have common sense!

Sound logic. I like it.
